Five Rib

FIVE RIB

Five Rib is a strong, high tensile profile that is perfect for many different applications for domestic and commercial usage. Commonly used for low pitched roofs or long spans on commercial buildings as it has great weather resistance. It is made to last and is well known in the roofing industry for its versatility and reliability. It is tough, cost-effective and superb for design purposes.

Five Rib is available in an unequalled range of colours and finishes including UniZinc®, UniCote®, Colorbond®, MagnaFlow™ and the luxurious UniCote® LUX range.

  • * 762mm cover and 27mm rib height
  • * Available in 0.42BMT and 0.48BMT
  • * Hi-tensile steel – strong and lightweight
  • * 2º minimum pitch
  • * Cut to length

Installation Information

  • * Five Rib sheeting should be installed into the prevailing weather
  • * Each sheet should be laid accurately to cleanly lap the adjoining roof sheet without over or under lapping
  • * Where sheeting spans exceed 900mm for roofing and 1200mm for walling, install a side lap fastener mid-span
  • * For roofing, the pan needs to be turned up at the peak and turned down at the eave
  • * At the completion of each days work, the roof surface needs to be cleaned to remove all traces of metal debris and swarf. Typically this is achieved by air blower, hose down or sweeping.
  • * Good trade practise should be applied, such as that contained in SA HB39:2015

Ezi-Batten Corrugated sheeting has been assessed for suitability for use in non-cyclonic
roof and wall cladding applications in accordance to AS1562.1:2018, applicable to both
residential and commercial applications. Metallic coated materials comply with
AS1397:2011 and pre-painted materials comply with AS/NZS2728:2013. Installation of
product shall be in compliance with AS1562.1:2018 and SA HB-39:2015, National
Construction Code (NCC) and relevant QSM Technical Bulletins.

Ezi-Batten Corrugated sheeting will give excellent durability in almost all locations. It
is however important to choose the correct coating for each environment as shown in the
table below. Durability recommendations do vary based on the application of the product,
in roofing or walling installations. Please read the tables below carefully.

* Severe marine begins 100 – 400m from the coast and may extend inland depending on
local conditions.

These are general guidelines only. Building location, design and aspect need to be
taken into account. To ensure warranty will be given, check with Ezi-Batten before
using in these areas.

Foot traffic limits for Ezi-Batten Corrugated sheeting are based on the accepted industry practice of designing traffic limitations on typical maintenance work. This equates to a single person with a small tool kit up to a total mass of 110kg (1.1kN load).
Walking on Ezi-Batten Corrugated profile requires that feet are placed evenly over at least two ribs. Walk as close as practical to the supports or ideally walk directly on the screw line.

Due diligence needs to be applied to ensure that all materials are compatible. Corrosion may occur when incompatible materials are either in direct contact, immersed in a common electrolyte, receive inert drainage or drainage from incompatible materials.
As a general rule for metallic coated and pre-painted materials, always avoid direct contact with copper, lead, tantalised timber, Monel, uncoated steel, stainless steel and concrete/mortar.
Drainage from inert materials must not flow onto galvanised material. Inert materials include glass, aluminium, glazed ceramic tiles, pre-painted steel and metallic coated steel.
More highly corrosive environments require additional care, the effects of marine and industrial environments can extend long distances from the source and create unique corrosive challenges.

  • *
    Roofing and cladding materials that are not exposed to rainfall should be washed
    down at least once every six months (more often in marine environments) to remove
    build-up of corrosive elements.
  • *
    Prior to installation, materials must be kept clean and dry. Ensure that sheeting
    packs are covered, air flow is adequate to eliminate condensation and water is not
    allowed to pond. Should materials get wet, sheeting must be separated and thoroughly
    dried.
  • *
    Sheeting should be handled with care to both avoid installer injury and damage to
    the product. Cutting of sheets must only be done with tin snips, shears or
    cold-cutting saw, so as to avoid the damage caused by abrasive cutting methods (i.e
    angle grinder).

Fastener Selection

Fastening screws are to be hex head and must be fitted with a non-conductive sealing washer for both roof and wall applications. Screws must conform to AS3566 with a corrosion resistant coating to Class 4 as minimum. Use of load spreading washers for high wind zones and for the fixing of flashings is encouraged. Fastener lengths specified below are based on using 60mm blanket, thicker insulation may require increased screw lengths.
